The beginning half of this book is ROUGH i’m not even gonna lie to you.He’s extremely unlikable and you are gonna hate him at first buttttt by the second half of the book you’ll find yourself liking him because yes he really is that sassy (and pathetic in a very hot way).You really just have to push through the first half of the book because everything else is so worth it.

In good news, my little dive into Tamlin's feelings towards mating bonds brought me to the most beautiful scene in ACOTAR.

“If it grieves you,” he said, the words caressing my bones, “then I don’t think it’s absurd at all.”

🥺 The Tamlin who supports mental health 🥺

"He took my hands. His callused fingers, strong and sturdy, were gentle as he lifted my bleeding hand to his mouth and kissed my palm. As if that were answer enough."

🌹🌹🌹Guys this🌹🌹🌹

"When he withdrew, my blood shone on his mouth. I glanced at my hands, which he still held, and found the wounds gone. I looked at his face again, at his gilded mask, the tanness of his skin, the red of his blood-covered lips as he murmured, “Don’t feel bad for one moment about doing what brings you joy.”

Then he tucks a thornless Rose behind her ear.

🥺🥺🥺

Also He has healing powers?

#sjm when i see you it’s on sight #this was the exact moment i knew i was all in for tamlin #he was so sweet #so gentle and loving #my baby ☹️☹️

Elain and Lucien accepting the bond. I know Elain would bake something special. 🍰

Honeyypears created this beautiful art for me and I am so thrilled with it! She was so lovely to work with and it's just what I imagined.

Tamlin mermaid and Lulu🧜🏻‍♂️🥀

I find it unrealistic that none of the male characters has a tattoo with a woman's name who they dated 300 years ago.

Also, Feyre totally would have gotten one of Tamlin right after UTM, we'll assume everyone is just ignoring it.

#i’m loving this so much 😭😭

Posting a little Elucien treat, just bc I actually HAVE written things recently, I just haven’t FINISHED them. Details, schmetails. 💁🏽‍♀️

——————————

“Why, Elain Archeron,” he murmured, and his fingers climbed her arm to rest against her bare shoulder, tangling lightly in one of her loose curls. “I would never have believed it of you.”

“Believed what, my lord?” She feigned innocence, eyes wide and bright as moonbeams.

His fingers tugged gently at the hem of the sheet she had covered herself with. “That you would forego a nightdress. So bold of you.”

She blushed, fighting the sense of being flustered. It was time, sang her blood, thrilling under her skin, to reach out, to embrace, to touch. “It seemed…” she hesitated, searching for the word. “…a shame, somehow. It’s a beautiful night. To not enjoy the breeze would be…” her voice snagged as his fingers abandoned the sheet and slid up her neck, resting at the angle of her jaw.

“Would be…?” His voice teased her but his eyes — oh, those eyes, gold flame and glowing ember — searched hers, utterly serious, glimmering with want.

“Un…” She hitched a breath. “Ungrateful.”

“Hmm. Well. That won’t do at all. We should always be grateful for the time we’ve been given.” The breeze rustled, rippling the curtains. He leaned forward until their noses almost touched. “Then may I join you?”

Caught off guard by the forthrightness, it took her a moment to nod.

He stood up and pulled his quiver over his head, setting it gently against one of the pillars, and then unbuckled his knife belt that sat low on his waist, the knife at the side swinging down in its sheath to scrape the white stone floor. Elain watched, hungry for the light and shadow to play along his skin, as he unfastened his jerkin and then his shirt, letting each one fall slowly to the floor. She swallowed hard. He grinned, a flash in the moonlight, and she knew he was going slowly on purpose. To tease her.

Then watch, her mind whispered. If he wants you to see, then look. It isn’t shameful…it isn’t wanton. Is it? She craned her neck to the side, letting an appreciative little smile curl the very edges of her lips. His eyes locked with hers, although they were just a gleam in the moonlit darkness. There was a hitch, a catch against her ribs, like the tug of a magnet toward a metal surface. The bond. Was he reeling her in? Should she…let him?

But that little doubting shadow in her mind quieted as he unbuckled his belt and pulled it off, rolling up the leather strap before placing it next to his quiver, then unfastened his boots. He had to bend over to do it, and his breeches rode down over his hips slightly; Elain’s eyes widened, drinking in the sweep of his back muscles tapering down to his narrow waist. He was long and lean, not at all the same body type as Cassian or Azriel; built for running, for horseback, for silent stalking on hunts that would last all night and only yield prey as the dawn broke. For endurance. Mother of mercy, her mouth was dry. She shifted under the sheet, craning her neck to get a better view…but, with a sly gleam of a smile, he had turned to face away from her, and stretched, loose and relaxed, with his arms over his head. She narrowed her eyes, a stab of petulance cutting through her.

“I can feel your disapproval,” he said over his shoulder, leaning back and forth in the moonlight, which touched him like a caress, long fingers of light and shadow sliding along his shoulders and the groove of his spine. “Should I stop?”

“I think I’ll kill you if you do,” she burst out, against all of her better judgment.

He turned then, and slid his breeches down and off in one movement. She let out a little sound, excitement and anguish and trembling expectancy.

He climbed over her, stretching her out beneath him, pulling her arms up over her head and squeezing them gently at the wrists. “Making threats, Blossom?” he whispered. “They sound so sweet in your shivering little voice. Now, don’t tell me there’s other things you’ve been keeping from me? Other talents?”

“Kiss me,” she insisted, stretching up to him to try to catch his mouth. It was too far away, much too far. She wanted him all over her, to cover her skin in a cascade of warmth, an avalanche of scent and sensation. “Please kiss me, Lucien.”

“Oh, I plan on it,” he said, using his free hand to peel the sheet away, taking her in with a gleam of his eyes and a flare of his nostrils. His fingertip rested lightly on the seam of her lips. “But not there.”

Her eyes widened in shock, but it was already happening, and in the fierce rush of her heartbeat as his hands gripped her waist, she realized she would let him do whatever he wanted to her. He flipped her over on the mattress and pulled her backwards until she was kneeling, arms stretched over her head. Then he crawled between her knees, and lay on his back, staring up at her, gold gilded in silver, flame shrouded in ombre, gripping her thighs hard enough to bruise. She sat up, alarmed, not sure what was happening next, but his grip tightened, thumbs stroking her thighs, pulling her knees further apart until she lowered herself to sit on his chest.

“Listen to me,” he said, and there was a core of steel in his voice that straightened her spine and raised gooseflesh all over her arms, torso, breasts, belly… “I’m going to taste you until you come, until you break into fragments. If it’s too much, just say, Lucien, stop…and I will. But otherwise, I’m going to take you apart the way you’ve always deserved. Do you want that?”

She whimpered, not even sure if it was fear or excitement. “…y…yes.”

“Then move this luscious ass forward and sit on my mouth.”

“But…”

“You heard me.”

Rhys would probably have a very similar tamlin tattoo somewhere on his body from when they were friends (😉).

I find it unrealistic that none of the male characters has a tattoo with a woman's name who they dated 300 years ago.

Also, Feyre totally would have gotten one of Tamlin right after UTM, we'll assume everyone is just ignoring it.

Imagine being so intimidated by Gwyn bc of the fact that you ship Elriel that you have to make up theories that she’s secretly an evil lightsinger. You go baby, keep telling yourself that.

[yaralulu]

You can't convince me that Elain isn't totally Tsundere for Lucien! Haha!

This is just a sketch, forgive that it looks bad lol! I felt like we need some cuteness!

[yaralulu]

It really is so funny how lucien is this very honest no bullshit kind of guy who’s honestly kind of an asshole (not derogatory) but he’s still nice 😭¿ It shouldn’t make sense but it does.

Me most of the time: Lucien is NOT that nice a person guys, he's snarky and cunning and unhinged and a little bit of an ass

Me when someone makes even the slightest critique of him: LUCIEN IS THE BESTEST SWEETEST BOY AND HE HAS NEVER MADE A MISTAKE IN HIS LIFE MY PRECIOUS BABY

#i think it’s bc he’s so charming #like he’s saying assholey things but the line delivery is hot #i like asshole lucien #we need more asshole lucien representation

[yaralulu]

I have this irrational fear that the only reason why Lucien is so good as a character is because Sarah leaves him alone. Because I saw what happened with her male leads (Tamlin, Rhys, Cass) and how they went from characters with a lot of potential (ACOTAR Tam and Rhys, ACOWAR Cass, I am a firm believer that ACOWAR Cass would sucker punch ACOSF Cass for his appalling behavior towards Nes) to the hot mess we have now.

I am scared shitless that the reason why my baby Luci is so good is by accident. That because Sarah didn't focus on him since he's not the main "love interest" is precisely why HE'S SO GOOD AS A CHARACTER. And that's why I'm kinda dreading the next book (if it's really going to be about Elain because that means Lucien is bound to be showing up a lot in it no matter what she chose to do with the mating bond).

God pls protect my man Lucien Vanserra. Sarah have a track record of ruining her own male lead (for me!!! They're kinda ruined for me) and I can't have that happening again. THRICE IS ENOUGH HEARTBREAK FOR ME

“I think I fell in love with you,” Rhys murmured, stroking a finger down my arm, “the moment I realized you were cleaving those bones to make a trap for the Middengard Wyrm. Or maybe the moment you flipped me off for mocking you. It reminded me so much of Cassian."

And Cassian had been jealous—of Mor’s shy glances at Azriel in those first few weeks, and the fact that his dearest friend and brother . . . was looking at someone else. That she’d appeared, and then Azriel had changed. Only slightly, but Cassian had known his friend did not belong solely to him and Rhys anymore.

Azriel’s eyes slid to Eris, the High Lord’s son panting beneath him. And the shadowsinger leaned down to whisper something in his ear that made Eris blanch further.

#rhys and cassian want each other so bad it’s crazy #they're all gay but which one is the gayest #its so cassian #strong repressed bi energy

Dear Lucien, Dear Elain: An Epistolary Fic (Chapter 5 Update)

Title: Dear Lucien, Dear Elain: An Epistolary Fic (Chapter V) Rating: M Summary:

“Perhaps you can speak them to me, if you so wish. I apologize if that is too forward, but I yearn to know you beyond simple pleasantries. 

Yours truly,

Lucien

P.S. My lady, your secrets are always safe with me.” 

Epistolary (adj., of a literary work) in the form of letters. After the winter solstice in ACOSF, Elain and Lucien exchange letters as a means to get to know each other away from prying eyes. This fic is a collection of those letters.

Author’s Note: CHAPTER UPDATE for our collab (me + @zenkindoflove)! We plan to have regular chapter updates on Mondays moving forward, as we have made some great progress on future chapters! P.S....did you catch the innuendos? ;)

READ HERE ON AO3

Preview:

I’m delighted to hear that you are interested in accompanying me on my journey! Truth be told, I do not have enough experience of the world and the pleasures it has to offer to know what would satisfy me. I suppose, I will have to trust in your wealth of experience and your steady hand to guide me through these desires. I would welcome a long, thorough exploration, as my previous travels ended too soon for my liking. So, I think it would please me to spend sufficient time, discovering new sights and experiences, and some clever bouts of spontaneity, to the point that I am tired and sated.

i’ve always headcanoned that like any prosthetic it took lucien ages to get used to his new eye.And not just the feeling of a strange metal orb where his eye once was but performing normal everyday functions did not come easy for him.For months he could barely walk without stumbling or holding onto to something.His depth perception was awful so reaching and grabbing things was hell.Reading was a big no for a while with all the clicks and noises his eye was always making.He had to relearn so many things like fighting or using a sword.It basically took years for his metal eye to get in tune with his good eye and that’s besides all the emotional damage that came with it 😅.

Alsooo its literally canon that his eye does experience malfunctions.

While Lucien ranted to Tamlin about some malfunction of the magical, carved eye that indeed allowed him to see.

ACTUALLY ACTUALLY

Lucien having chronic migraines due to his eye loss and his prosthesis, it getting worse with the weather and stress but he pretends it doesn't bother him but he has chronic pain and it can get bad enough it can cause eye problems in his good eye

Elain making salves for him. Elain getting compresses and adjusting the light and curtains and Lucien being so lost at the small gestures of kindess he doesnt think he deserves

DISABLED LUCIEN HEADCANONS PLEASEEEEEEEEEE

#oh the clicks and whirls #i know they drove him mad #can u guess who helped him adapt to his new eye #🤗🤗🤗 #disabled!lucien

[yaralulu]

Elain is a cuddler and Lucien is a living furnace.
